Description

Based on the legendary XPAN with its unique cinematic panoramic 65x24 images, XP4N turns any scene into a movie set; every shot into a movie still. - Shoot in the amazing 65:24 cinematic aspect ratio - Simulate 8 distinct film types (some inspired by popular film types, such as Cinestill 800T) - NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS, NO IN-APP-PURCHASES! - Use all available lenses - Haptic and visual feedback when taking pictures - Use volume up key as shutter button - EV compensation by swiping - Access to the 48MP sensor (if available and enabled in settings) - Option to save as lossless HEIF files - Saves EXIF and GPS data in photos This app is designed to simulate the cinematic qualities of the XPAN, including emulation of 8 distinct film stocks that are often paired with this camera: NIGHT MODE Based on the Cinestill 800T film character with its moody teal cast and signature "halation" (red halos) around bright spots in the image. BALANCED MODE Inspired by Vision3 250D film stock, with its versatile personality and typical Hollywood-style color and contrast curves. DAYLIGHT MODE Based on the popular Portra 400 film; soft and warm hues and moderate contrast profile. Great for skin tones and dreamy landscapes. GRITTY MODE Inspired by the Lomography Metropolis film, which adds a "bleached" look that is reminiscent of gritty 90s movies. BLACK & WHITE MODES Following the characteristics black & white films, one mode offers a punchy and contrasty B&W style, while the other is soft and dreamy. NEON NIGHT (NEW) Enhances bright spots in night photos and adds vibrant, saturated glows for a "cyberpunk" vibe ETHEREAL (NEW) Classic soft focus mode, without the need to put grease on your lens! XP4N is consciously made to be the ultimate one-trick-pony. A point and shoot camera with only a single button: the shutter button. The internal image processing engine does the rest, based on your preferred film mode setting. (so don't expect deep camera controls... ;-). The resulting images are carefully tuned to have the pleasant silky quality of film and to get away from the oversharpened, hyper-punchy look typical of today's digital cameras.

  • ProRAW support needed

    By The user name is always taken
    Addition of saved as ProRAW option will bring this app to S tier in my humble opinion!! I know ProRAW can’t be saved with crop and adjustment baked in. But that option would be really nice to have since some photos do require post editing but it would still be nice to have the app as a viewfinder to preview the shot.

  • For those how can’t afford a real XPan

    Being primarily a film photographer and would love to own an XPAN but can’t afford it, this is a great simulation and substitute for the real thing. A simple point and shoot. My preferred mode is Daylight since Portra was one of my favorite film stocks. Wish there was a way to turn off the volume buttons from being the shutter button, otherwise great app.

  • Exceptional!

    While I’m by no means a professional photographer, I know my way around film simulations—both through post-editing and as a Fujifilm camera user, as well as an occasional 35mm/120mm shooter. This app continues to enchant with its wonderful simplicity and exceptionally well-calibrated simulations. The core function of creating an XPan aspect ratio crop is especially welcome, saving time and greatly assisting with framing.

  • Impressive Titles From an Impressive Developer

    A commitment to apps and quality should be standardized upon Bram’s creations on iOS. He has patiently demonstrated commitment to his work and products. This should be respected by all. Peace.

  • Love it

    I’m using it for landscape. The film choices work well in different situations. It’s easy to choose options and to go back and forth between them, especially the lenses.

  • This App Is Fun!

    Love it. Simple idea. The filter with the halation effect is sick. Thank you for not making it a subscription. 10/10

  • Worthy Effort, and Much Appreciated

    I most definitely like this app, however it still lacks some things that I hope the developer is working to add. The biggest thing to me is to add an option for NOT applying a film simulation. Yes, I know we can have it save an unprocessed image, but I’d rather have the option to turn off the film simulations and not save two images per shot. It would also be nice to have some additional options for black and white, like color filters, and NOT force us to use film simulations. And lastly, perhaps most important, please give us a preview of the image in the viewfinder! If I’m shooting B/W, it’d be nice to see the preview in B/W. In any case, thanks for creating this app. I love the wide angle format, and to be able to do it right on my phone is HUGE to me!!!!

  • Does what it does very well

    XP4N is built to emulate a panoramic film camera and it does this very well, including the simulation of classic film types. A recent update added a couple of more film siulations and made accessing the settings a little more transparent. The app works best using the main iPhone camera lens. the ultrawide and tele phone lenses produce very small files while the main leans produces a 24MP file. The app cannot produce a 48MP main lens file because of cropping. It should be noted that this is an analog camera emulation. It does not produce the type of pano found in the iPhone native camera where you pan to produce an ultrawide pano. That said, this app does what it's supposed to do and does it well.

  • My New Favorite iPhone Camera App

    I honestly didn’t think I needed another camera app. Most of the time I’m fine with the default app. Many of the camera apps I have are bloated with too many features, controls, in-app purchases, etc. This X4PN app is different. It’s no-nonsense and gives you just enough features, with beautiful film emulations, and isn’t bloated with features and settings you’ll likely never use. X4PN makes beautiful images and puts the focus back on composition and not on tweaking app settings. Simply put, X4PN makes iPhone photography fun again!

  • Meh

    Simple interface makes it easy to take a “classic” style pano. However, the app only produces a 6mp jpeg on an iPhone 15 Pro which is basically useless for anything other than a lackluster social media post. I’d say the app is just about worth the current 99 cent price.
